Fretwork

Worn frets?  A level, crown and dress will make your guitar feel brand new.  Alternately a partial fret level and dress is possible if you only have a few uneven frets.  I also offer a partial refret if you have a few heavily worn or dented frets, but If your frets have substantial wear I recommend a full refret.  Sharp fret ends (fret sprout) ? This can be solved with a fret end dress.  I use specialist tools from Crimson Guitars and Stewmac on all fret jobs.

Full Refret :

-  (Nickel Silver)  - £145

-  (Evo Gold)  - £170

-  (Stainless Steel)  - £200

Partial Refret  - from £15

*All Refret options exclude the cost of a set of strings required to complete the job.  Prices are as above for most jobs but there can be exceptions with certain types necks with binding or finishes or if a new nut is required.

Perfectly crowned and dressed frets. Smooth rounded rolled over edges. No sharp ends. A super comfortable feeling on yout fretting hand.

Fretboard restored and conditioned. Frets buffed and polished to a custom shop level sheen. Great playabilty especially with string bends.
